BOTOX® procedures

With a simple, in-office injection of BOTOX® Cosmetic, your face can be literally sculpted, and without inconvenience or downtime. Dr. Goodman administers these injections -- they are never delegated to nurses or physician’s assistants.

At Plastic Surgery Specialists, we want you to know that your safety and satisfaction matter most and we are proud of the uncompromising care we can offer you. Our prices are very competitive too. In fact, you only pay for the exact number of units of BOTOX® Cosmetic you actually receive – without hidden costs or confusion. We are pleased to provide convenient and accessible BOTOX® treatments at our Fort Smith, AR facility..

Don't hesitate. If you are in the area and the doctor is available, we would be happy to see you at a moment's notice for your Botox injection. New patients are always welcome. Just call us to make sure the doctor can make some time and then you can come back from your shopping trip, looking rejuvenated and refreshed!

Before you try and schedule your first BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment consultation, you probably have some questions, such as: How long will it take? How long will the results last? Will it hurt? Will I still be able to make facial expressions?

Here's what you might expect at the doctor's office from the moment you arrive until your procedure is done. (Please note that although this experience is typical, the routine at your doctor's office may be different.)

The day of your appointment. Allow time before your appointment for filling out forms and for consulting with the doctor or a member of his or her staff. If it's your initial visit, you must first meet with Dr. Goodman or a staff member.

You will be asked about your expectations for treatment and if you have any allergies or any condition that wouldn't make you a good candidate for BOTOX® Cosmetic.

Before the procedure. You'll be seated in a reclining chair, much like you find in a dentist's office. No anesthesia is required, although your doctor may choose to numb the area with a cold pack or anesthetic cream.

The procedure. Your doctor will determine where to administer the injections by examining your ability to move certain muscles in your brow area. The entire BOTOX® Cosmetic injection procedure takes approximately 10 minutes.

After the procedure. There's no recovery time needed. You're ready to get on with your day! The most common side effects following injection include temporary eyelid droop and nausea. Localized pain, infection, inflammation, tenderness, swelling, redness, and/or bleeding/bruising may be associated with the injection. Patients with certain neuromuscular disorders such as ALS, myasthenia gravis, or Lambert-Eaton syndrome may be at increased risk of serious side effects.

Seeing results. Within days, you may notice an improvement in the moderate to severe frown lines between your brows that can last up to 4 months.

Results may vary.

If you're planning on being treated with BOTOX® Cosmetic, you might want to take pictures of yourself before your first treatment. Then a week later, take new pictures so you can see the results. Your doctor might even do this as part of the procedure. Chances are, you'll like what you see!
